We will be creating a four shutter foldable from a half a piece of paper for our Science Portfolio as we learn about:

1) What is a Force?

2) Drawing Force Diagrams

3) The Effect of Force Depends on: Magnitude, Direction, and Location (you will need to make an accordian fold so you have enough room for your notes - you can use part of the other half of paper to do this)

4) How forces are Measured. What are the Units of Force?

Please write the above headings on the shutter of the foldable. Place #3 and #4 on the bottom shutters (the ones with the extra "leg" foldable)
